Keeping the education system relevant is among the big challenges India will face in 2019, the DNA on Wednesday said in its editorial.
Today, the biggest hazard for education provider is that they do not know what to teach and the greatest ordeal for education recipients is that they do not know what to learn. Know one knows what is being taught in class would be relevant in the next few years.
